OE belt technology Strong and stretchable cord design for maximum tension-holding capability throughout the entire life span EPDM across the range Installation instruction printed on the inside of the sleeve Tools required for installation available from Gates
MICRO-V STOP&START THE STOP-START BELT Designed for cars equipped with a belt-driven stop-start system Stop-start systems save fuel, reduce CO 2 emissions and have become a standard fit on many vehicles. The greater strains and stresses involved mean that belt-driven stop-start systems require a specifically designed replacement belt. Through special development of their rubber formulation and cord pack, Gates Micro-V Stop&Start belts are engineered to provide ideal solutions. OE belt technology Immediate, noiseless, vibration-free re-starts EPDM across the range MICRO-V UNIQUE FIT THE BELT FOR SENSITIVE DRIVES Designed to be the best belt option for specific cars associated with sensitive belt drives Analysis performed by the Gates R&D team shows that certain belt drives create very harsh environments for the multi-ribbed belt. To offset these harsh environments, Gates developed the Micro-V Unique Fit belt. Each Micro-V Unique Fit belt is carefully engineered to ensure excellent running properties on specific drives that are particularly sensitive. OE belt technology Special construction in order to perform best on the specific application: aramid cord, special rib compound, double-sided belt... Because harsh environments (high loads, highly complex drives ) call for an individual solution EPDM across the range
THE OE STANDARD IN MULTI-RIBBED BELTS TOTAL SOLUTIONS ALL EXPERTISE IN ONE BOX Heated seats, USB ports, air conditioning and power steering are just a few of the on-board comfort and safety-critical systems powered by modern accessory belts. The belt, tensioner, idler and pulleys inside the accessory belt drive system work together smoothly, to provide the power for these systems. If one component in the system fails, or encounters a problem, the entire system can be compromised and ultimately break down. The best long-term preventive maintenance solution is always the best value for workshop customers. Fitting new belts on worn metal components is never a good idea so Gates offers a range of solutions that allow replacement of all the parts that are subject to wear at the same time. That s why Gates kit solutions save time, remove the hassle and mean fewer comebacks.
